Anna, glamorous Russian spy, makes a comeback

Red-haired Russian spy Anna Chapman is back in the world of espionage with a new mission from Moscow.

The infamous former spy, now, 43, has been appointed head of the Museum of Russian Intelligence, a new project linked to Vladimir Putin’s top secret service, The Sun reported. Once a UK citizen, she is now using the name Anna Romanova. This is her latest alias in a life that could have come straight out of a spy thriller.

Chapman became known to the wider public in 2010, when she was arrested by the FBI in New York as part of a Russian sleeper cell. She was later expelled from the US in a swap deal.

Chapman's new museum is registered near Gorky Park in Moscow, at the press office of the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR). SVR is the ex-KGB spy agency that employed her as a foreign agent.

"The museum is expected to showcase the history and achievements of Russian espionage, highlighting the country's intelligence operations against the West," The Sun said.
